What was the reason for the Sugar Act of 1764? (4 points)

History
1 answer:
antiseptic1488 [7]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:  The reason for the <em>Sugar Act,</em> also known as the <em>Plantation Act</em> or <em>The American Revenue Act of 1764. </em>Was a modified version of the <em>Sugar and Molasses Act of 1733. </em>Lowered the taxes on imported sugar and molasses from 6 pence to 3 pence per gallon.

Explanation: The 1733 Sugar and Molasses act imposed a 6 pence tax on all imported sugar and molasses, however many businessmen would find loopholes and ways around paying these taxes which in turn hurt British businesses. So Parliament passed the Sugar act which lowered the tax from 6 pence per gallon to 3 pence per gallon. However the tax would be more strictly enforced.

What was one reason that China lost the Sino-Japanese War?
Kamila [148]

Answer: China had decided not to modernize and industrialize

Explanation:

The Sino-Japanese War (the first one, carried out between 1894 and 1895), was a conflict between Japan and China for the supremacy over Korea (which for a long time was the most important client state for China). This war meant the rise of Japan as a great world power by showing the weakness of the Chinese empire (specifically the Qing dynasty).

The war was formally declared on August 1, 1894, with favorable predictions for China by foreign observers, because China had more people to fight. However, the Japanese surprised to be better equipped and prepared, after having successfully modernized.

That is why after more than six months of uninterrupted successes by Japanese land and naval forces and the loss of the Weihaiwei port by China, the Qing government sued for peace in February 1895.
